Pros

Working with smart people and being allowed to be a thought-leader! Employees have the ability to work on clients that interest them, can talk to managers about the right work/life balance for them. There is a tremendous training program, human resources team that is amazing and partners with us to help assure excellence for employees and encouragement of employees to "live in color" which means include other things in your life other than work. The senior leadership is strong and provide good mentorship. They listen to employees and act on what they hear. This office is one of the best Edelman has.

Cons

I can't honestly think of a single thing - I love this company!

Pros

Great reputation and looks great on resume Edelman has a vast amount of resources available for its employees, far more than your average public relations agency. Great client list, you represent some of the biggest and best brands/products in the world. Good work experience if you plan on climbing the corporate ladder.

Cons

Jr. level worked to the bone. Be ready to be the first one in the office and the last one to leave at night. Office politics and "favorites" and cliques, but that goes for every office Independently owned but a very, very corporate setting. There is no room for any kind of individuality or even creativity when you are at a junior level.
